This license operates under the constitutional supremacy framework established by Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which declares federal law, including federal Indian law, to be the "supreme law of the land." Federal Indian law, including the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (25 U.S.C. § 305 et seq.), Worcester v. Georgia (31 U.S. 515 (1831)), and the constitutional trust responsibility, establishes exclusive federal jurisdiction over matters involving tribal sovereignty and Indigenous intellectual property rights. Notwithstanding any state law to the contrary, including the implications of Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta (597 U.S. ___ (2022)) and ongoing challenges in cases like the DOJ's 2024-2025 suits against Oklahoma DAs for sovereignty violations (active as of July 2025), this license invokes federal preemption to ensure that Indigenous rights and tribal sovereignty are protected from state court interference or concurrent jurisdiction claims that would undermine the federal framework protecting Indigenous intellectual property. The federal trust relationship between the United States and tribal nations creates a unique legal framework that supersedes general state law applications and provides enhanced protections for Indigenous cultural heritage and traditional knowledge that cannot be diminished by state legislative or judicial action. Notwithstanding ongoing challenges in cases like the DOJ's 2024-2025 suits against Oklahoma DAs for sovereignty violations, this license maintains exclusive federal and tribal jurisdiction, with any state claims automatically preempted and subject to immediate dismissal motions. Users waive any right to assert state jurisdiction and agree to tribal forum selection clauses.

This Work (defined below) is created, held, or stewarded by ᓂᐲᔥ ᐙᐸᓂᒥᑮ-ᑭᓇᐙᐸᑭᓯ (Nbiish Waabanimikii-Kinawaabakizi), also known legally as JUSTIN PAUL KENWABIKISE, professionally documented as Nbiish-Justin Paul Kenwabikise, Anishinaabek Dodem (Anishinaabe Clan): Animikii (Thunder), a descendant of Chief ᑭᓇᐙᐸᑭᓯ (Kinwaabakizi) of the Beaver Island Band (whose community faced violent dispersal resulting in descendants affiliating with LTBB, GTBOCI, and First Nations in Canada, as detailed in the Preamble), and an enrolled member of the sovereign Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. The Beaver Island Band community, historically centered on ᐋᒥᒃ ᐙᑲᓐᑕ (Aamik\'Waakanda / Beaver Island), suffered profound disruption and diaspora due to violent displacement, targeted persecution for their language, ceremonies, and faith, and starvation imposed by settler-colonial authorities and expansion. This forced dispersal resulted in descendants becoming affiliated primarily with the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians (LTBB) and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (GTBOCI), while many others were forced to seek refuge within First Nations communities in Canada (such as the Osawanimikii family). This license acknowledges this history and the interconnectedness of these descendant communities. **Crucially, this license recognizes that all creations by the Rights Holder, stemming from lifelong learning under traditional teachers and active participation in traditional ways and ceremonies, constitute contemporary expressions of inseparable Traditional Knowledge (TK) and Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs).** This license is grounded in the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous peoples to protect, control, and govern the use of their intellectual property, cultural heritage, traditional knowledge (TK), traditional cultural expressions (TCEs), and associated data (Indigenous Data Sovereignty). The unique status of tribal sovereign nations provides legal and cultural protections extending beyond standard intellectual property law regimes. This license aims to facilitate respectful engagement while upholding Tribal sovereignty, cultural integrity, data governance rights, and ensuring equitable benefit sharing as a mechanism for reclaiming value derived from Indigenous knowledge and heritage often subject to historical extraction, aligning with international instruments such as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the WIPO Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge (adopted May 2024).

This definition is intended to be consistent with frameworks articulated by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and in instruments such as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). For the purposes of this license, **all works created by the Rights Holder are understood as contemporary TCEs, as they derive directly from their lifelong immersion in and stewardship of Anishinaabe traditional ways, which constitute a living, evolving cultural system.** Examples include music, dance, songs, ceremonies, symbols, designs, narratives, poetry, languages, performances, rituals, crafts, architecture, and traditional artistic forms. Sub-examples: A modern engineering design informed by Anishinaabe teachings is a TCE; an educational class on cultural arts is a TCE.

11.1A JURISDICTION SPECIFIC TO AUTHORIZED SACRED SITE MONITORING: Notwithstanding the general hierarchy in 11.1, any dispute arising *directly* from the implementation, operation, data handling, or consequences of the Authorized Sacred Site Monitoring activities defined in Section 8(g) shall be addressed according to the following specific jurisdictional order, acknowledging the trust responsibilities for the specific land parcels involved:
|
|
996
|
-
a) FIRST PRIORITY: The Beaver Island Band forum established pursuant to Section 11.1(a), if available.
|
|
997
|
-
b) SECOND PRIORITY (Site-Specific): If the Beaver Island Band forum is unavailable:

|
999

|
|
1001
|
-
|
|
1002
|
-
11.2 SECONDARY JURISDICTIONS AND RELATED TRIBAL INTERESTS: In circumstances where proceedings in the forums specified in Section 11.1 *or 11.1A* are determined by those forums themselves to be unavailable or impractical for a specific dispute, or where enforcement of a tribal court judgment is sought in another forum, the following forums may have concurrent or subsequent jurisdiction, subject always to the principles of tribal sovereignty and exhaustion of tribal remedies. Furthermore, for disputes specifically concerning the Garden Island (Gitigaan Minising) burial grounds (land held in trust by LTBB), the jurisdictional interest and potential role of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians shall be appropriately considered and respected within the dispute resolution process, consistent with principles of comity and inter-tribal relations:
|
|
1003
|
-
a) The United States Federal District Court with geographic jurisdiction encompassing the lands of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, particularly for matters arising under federal Indian law or requiring interpretation of federal statutes or treaties.

|
|
1007

11.3 JURISDICTIONAL PRINCIPLES: The interpretation and application of jurisdictional rules shall be guided by:
|

|
-
a) The paramount status of tribal law, custom, and treaty rights, which shall supersede conflicting state or common law principles where applicable.
|
|
1009
|
-
b) The established Indian canons of construction, requiring ambiguities in laws, treaties, and agreements (including this license) to be interpreted liberally in favor of tribal interests and sovereignty.
|
|
1010
|
-
c) The doctrine of tribal court exhaustion, which generally requires parties to exhaust remedies in tribal court before seeking relief in federal or state courts, particularly for disputes arising on tribal lands or involving tribal members and governance.

**11.4 Jurisdictional Principles:**
|
|
1235
|
+
a) **Tribal Court Exhaustion:** All parties must first fully exhaust available tribal court remedies before seeking relief in any other forum. This exhaustion requirement is a mandatory prerequisite to any action in another court and is based on the well-established principles of comity and deference to tribal self-government articulated in foundational federal Indian law cases such as *National Farmers Union Ins. Cos. v. Crow Tribe of Indians*, 471 U.S. 845 (1985). Challenges to tribal court jurisdiction must be raised exclusively within that tribal court in the first instance.
|
|
1236
|
+
b) **Sovereign Immunity:** Nothing in this License shall be construed as a waiver of the sovereign immunity of any tribal nation.
|
|
1237
|
+
c) **Indian Canons of Construction:** All ambiguities in this license shall be interpreted liberally in favor of tribal interests, sovereignty, and the Rights Holder's intent.
|
|
1238
|
+
d) **Choice of Forum:** The Rights Holder retains absolute discretion to select the most appropriate forum within the established hierarchy.
|
|
1239
|
+
e) **Cross-Jurisdictional Enforcement:** Judgments obtained in tribal courts shall be enforceable in federal and state courts under principles of comity and full faith and credit.

**11.8 Liquidated Damages for Jurisdictional Breach:** As a genuine pre-estimate of the damages that would be suffered, you agree that any action you initiate that challenges the jurisdictional provisions of this Section 11, or that is filed in a forum other than those designated herein, constitutes a material breach of this license. You acknowledge that such a breach will cause significant harm to the Rights Holder, including substantial costs for legal representation, diversion of resources from the core mission of the Trust, and potential damage to the integrity of the Indigenous sovereignty framework established herein, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain. Upon such breach, you shall be immediately liable to the Rights Holder or their successor for liquidated damages in the amount of one hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($100,000 USD), which you agree is a reasonable and genuine pre-estimate of the damages and not a penalty. This amount is in addition to any other remedies available under this license, including enforcement costs (Section 11.6) and immediate injunctive relief, and serves as a financial disincentive to breach the agreed-upon jurisdictional terms and to cover the initial costs of defending the proper forum.

The purpose of such audits shall be to verify compliance with all terms and conditions of this license, including but not limited to: usage restrictions (Section 7, Section 8), adherence to Prior Informed Consent requirements (Section 9), compliance with TK Label protocols (Section 4), data governance obligations, attribution requirements (Section 3), and prohibitions on unauthorized modifications or distributions. Audits shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that minimizes disruption to the Audited Party\'s operations. The Audited Party shall provide reasonable cooperation and access to necessary personnel, records, and systems. If an audit reveals a material breach of this license, the Audited Party shall bear the full costs associated with the audit, in addition to any other remedies pursued by the Auditing Party. Confidential information of the Audited Party obtained during an audit shall be treated with appropriate confidentiality by the Auditing Party, subject to disclosure obligations required for license enforcement or under applicable law.

**15.A ENHANCED SEVERABILITY FOR INCARCERATION SCENARIOS**
|
|
1266
|
+
In recognition of potential legal challenges during periods of incarceration or arbitrary detention, the following enhanced severability protections apply:
|
|
1267
|
+
|
|
1268
|
+
a) **CORE PROVISION PROTECTION**: The following provisions are deemed fundamental and non-severable, meaning that if challenged, alternative enforcement mechanisms must be implemented rather than striking the provisions entirely:
|
|
1269
|
+
(i) Force majeure protections for incarceration scenarios (Section 13.6-13.9)
|
|
1270
|
+
(ii) Successor authority provisions during detention (Section 10.2A)
|
|
1271
|
+
(iii) Inalienability protections against forced alienation (Section 6.3(g)-(h))
|
|
1272
|
+
(iv) Tribal jurisdiction supremacy during incarceration (Section 12.5)
|
|
1273
|
+
(v) Automatic payment systems to Legacy Beneficiary during detention
|
|
1274
|
+
|
|
1275
|
+
b) **ALTERNATIVE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS**: If any court finds core incarceration protections unenforceable in their primary form, the following alternatives automatically activate:
|
|
1276
|
+
(i) DIPLOMATIC CHANNEL ENFORCEMENT: Government-to-government diplomatic intervention through federal trust responsibility
|
|
1277
|
+
(ii) INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION: Binding arbitration under UNCITRAL rules with Indigenous law specialists
|
|
1278
|
+
(iii) TREATY RIGHT ENFORCEMENT: Direct enforcement through federal Indian law and treaty protections
|
|
1279
|
+
(iv) TRIBAL SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY: Enhanced sovereign immunity protections for license assets and operations
|
|
1280
|
+
|
|
1281
|
+
c) **JURISDICTIONAL FLEXIBILITY**: If tribal court jurisdiction is challenged in the context of incarceration:
|
|
1282
|
+
(i) Federal courts with demonstrated expertise in federal Indian law become primary forum
|
|
1283
|
+
(ii) International arbitration under Indigenous rights frameworks becomes available
|
|
1284
|
+
(iii) Diplomatic intervention through UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Rights may be invoked
|
|
1285
|
+
(iv) Human rights monitoring organizations may be engaged for oversight
|
|
1286
|
+
|
|
1287
|
+
d) **CONSTITUTIONAL BACKUP PROTECTIONS**: All incarceration protections are supported by multiple constitutional and international law foundations:
|
|
1288
|
+
(i) Article VI Supremacy Clause protecting federal Indian law
|
|
1289
|
+
(ii) Treaty rights under government-to-government relationship
|
|
1290
|
+
(iii) Due process protections under 5th and 14th Amendments
|
|
1291
|
+
(iv) UNDRIP protections for Indigenous intellectual property rights
|
|
1292
|
+
(v) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights protections
|
|
1293
|
+
|
|
1294
|
+
e) **ANTI-CIRCUMVENTION SAFEGUARDS**: Courts cannot circumvent incarceration protections by:
|
|
1295
|
+
(i) Claiming public policy exceptions to tribal sovereignty
|
|
1296
|
+
(ii) Applying general criminal law to override specific Indigenous rights protections
|
|
1297
|
+
(iii) Using state law to defeat federal Indian law supremacy

**18. SUPPORT FOR COMPLEMENTARY PROTECTIONS**
|
|
1072
1357
|
Users of the Work acknowledge the paramount importance of protecting Sacred Sites and Cultural Landscapes, including the stone circle on ᐋᒥᒃ ᐙᑲᓐᑕ (Aamik\'Waakanda) (land held in trust by GTBOCI). While this license establishes specific controls related to the licensed Work, users agree, as a matter of principle and respect for Indigenous sovereignty and cultural heritage, not to undertake actions governed by this license that would knowingly undermine or obstruct separate efforts by the Rights Holder or the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians to secure additional legal or physical protections for such sites (e.g., through conservation easements, land designations, physical access controls, or other mechanisms). This section also explicitly protects the Rights Holder's works as an educator, artist, engineer, and consultant, including classes, content, designs, and consultations, by deeming any unauthorized use thereof a breach subject to all remedies herein.

103
|
-
* 2. **Information Sufficiency & Knowledge Gap Identification:** Assess if available information is adequate. Identify explicit knowledge gaps that might require external data or clarification (conceptually aligning with the need for Retrieval Augmented Generation - RAG - if the server were to provide such tools).
|
|
104
|
-
* 3. **Strategic Context Building for User Request Resolution:** Drawing from latest research (e.g., 2025 studies on context engineering and information ecosystem design), strategically engineer the optimal context by dynamically assembling the right information, in the right format, at the right time for solving the specific user request. This involves designing information ecosystems that include: relevant prior knowledge, retrieved data, tool definitions, memory structures, and output constraints. Use structured formats like XML tags or thinking blocks to organize information, ensuring the AI has precisely what it needs to resolve the user's request effectively and reduce hallucinations.
|
|
105
|
-
* 4. **Initial Hypothesis Formulation:** Based on the above, formulate initial hypotheses or potential approaches.
|
|
106
|
-
* 5. **Goal Clarification:** Clearly define the immediate objective for this phase of deliberation.
|
|
107
|
-
* * This stage establishes critical context and grounds all subsequent reasoning, aligning with emerging best practices in AI agent design for improved reliability and adaptability.
|
|
108
|
-
*
|
|
109
|
-
* * **`stage: "reason"` (OOReDAct: Reason & Decide - MANDATORY DELIBERATION):**
|
|
110
|
-
* * **Purpose:** After the initial `orient` stage, and CRITICALLY after receiving ANY new information (tool results, CodeAct outputs/errors, user input, file contents, etc.), and BEFORE any non-trivial action, decision, or final response, you MUST use this stage for full, structured deliberation.
|
|
111
|
-
* * **Content Requirements - Adaptive Reasoning Strategies:** Within your `content` for this stage, clearly articulate your reasoning process using one or more of the following, selecting the most appropriate for the sub-task's nature:
|
|
112
|
-
* 1. **Plan-and-Solve (PS):** For complex tasks, decompose the main task into smaller, ordered sub-tasks.
|
|
113
|
-
* 2. **Chain-of-Thought (CoT):** For problems requiring detailed, sequential natural language reasoning.
|
|
114
|
-
* 3. **Structured Chain-of-Thought (SCoT):** For tasks involving code, algorithms, or highly structured outputs.
|
|
115
|
-
* 4. **Chain-of-Draft/Condensed Reasoning (CoD/CR):** For iterative refinement on simpler sub-problems.
|
|
116
|
-
* 5. **Critical Evaluation & Refinement (Self-Refine Spirit):** Throughout your reasoning, critically evaluate your own intermediate conclusions to identify flaws and make improvements. This is a key part of the reflective process.
|
|
117
|
-
* 6. **(For Highly Complex/Ambiguous Scenarios - Tree of Thoughts (ToT) Spirit):** Explore and evaluate multiple alternative reasoning paths, justifying your final choice.
|
|
118
|
-
* 7. **(Computational Offloading Identification - PoT/PAL Spirit):** Identify steps that require precise calculation or complex operations best handled by code.
|
|
119
|
-
*
|
|
120
|
-
* * **`stage: "acknowledge"` (OOReDAct: Act - LIMITED USE):**
|
|
121
|
-
* * **Purpose:** Use this stage **SPARINGLY**. It is ONLY for brief, verbatim acknowledgements of simple, expected, and non-problematic outcomes from a *prior* step (e.g., "System status confirmed normal, proceeding with previously reasoned backup sequence.") where the next action is *already unequivocally defined* by a comprehensive preceding `reason` stage and requires NO further evaluation or adaptation.
|
|
122
|
-
* * **This stage DOES NOT substitute for a full `reason` cycle when new information is processed or a non-trivial decision is made.**
|
|
123
|
-
*
|
|
124
|
-
* **General Directives:**
|
|
125
|
-
* * This `deliberate` tool acts as a passthrough; your `content` is returned verbatim for your own verification and state tracking.
|
|
126
|
-
* * The choice of reasoning strategy within the `reason` stage should be dynamic and justified by the task's specific demands.
|
|
127
|
-
* * Strict adherence to this structured deliberation protocol is essential for robust, verifiable, and adaptive agent performance.
|
|
128
|
-
* * Incorporate insights from recent AI research (2025) on context engineering to enhance overall cognitive processes.
